Went out to Northwest off highway vehicle park in Bridgeport, Texas on 6/10/17. We were out there for about 5 hours and drove most of the trails the envoy was capable of doing. We have had a ton of rain the last few weeks so there was a ton of mud and ruts that were filled with water. During the summer it's usually pretty dry out there. It was my first time out there with the new tires (Mastercraft CXT 255/80/17). They did great in the mud and awesome with the rocks. A review of them to come. Pretty cool place to go wheeling in North Texas. If you get stuck there is usually someone pretty close that can pull you out.

Man, that first pic is just begging for a sidewall puncture! Looks like a blast! I was just in Decatur a couple months ago at Rocky Ridge. Wet as hell, but fun. I was on my KLR650, so the TB didn't get to do any playing.

My 4wd was inop. Broken awd sleeve again. It's back in service now, though.

Glad to find something close enough to drive to. Every time I google off road trails it wants to send me to Marble Falls or further. I will have to go there sometime when I can can a Saturday off.
